My thoughts:

What an interesting, unique insight into Mexican slang! I just started learning Spanish, so I thought Mexislang would be an interesting addition to my studies, and I was not wrong. While my Spanish teacher would probably not approve, I enjoyed the detailed insights into origins of the individual expressions the Author showcased. Entertaining and educational, this book made me frown at times, and chuckle at others, and with that brought this language more to life than any ordinary textbook could do.

Summary:

I have been teaching Mexican Spanish online for more than 2 years, and while talking to my students, I’ve noticed how interested they were in learning “mexislang.”
They asked me about it all the time, and it started to fascinate me as well. I realized how slang didn’t follow any rules and was constantly changing, day by day.
I created a blog – mexislang.com – where I started posting entries for my students, to better explain them how slang words were used and why.
These blog posts have evolved into this book.
Here, I gather the most important phrases and words of mexislang and explain their history and usage, including examples.
